Michigan Historic Preservation Network Celebrates its 2014 Historic
Preservation Award Winners
The Michigan Historic Preservation Network (MHPN) is pleased to announce our 2014
Historic Preservation Awards winners. Fourteen award winners from across Michigan
were selected in six categories,
including: Building, Cu
ltural Landscape, Preser
vation Gem, Government/In
stitution, Tax Credit,
and Lifetime
A
chievement. The awards ceremony is one of the highlights of t
he 34th Annual MHPN Conference, “Michigan Places Matter.” A recept
ion and
awards presentation will be held Friday evening, May 16, 201
4, at the Michigan Theatre of
Jackson, Jackson, Michigan.
Four Building Awards are presented for projects completed within
the last three years. Winning pr
ojects may be a restoration or
rehabilitation, and
must include exterior work, but
may also include interior work.
While many think of preservation as the multi-million dollar re
storation of large
historic landmarks, preservation is not limited by
size, location or cost. This year’s winners include:
The
DeZwaan Windmill, Holland
. With the restoration of this 18th c
entury Dutch windmill, brought to Michig
an in 1964, the eighty-foot sails are
once again turning, milling flour and serving as the linchpin
in the revitalization of Holland’s Windmill Island Gardens.
